We spent a really lovely weekend in Stephen's house. His parents were housesitting during those days and they truly made us feel at home! The room is on the top floor, which gives you all the privacy and relax you want. Everything is brand-new, extremely tidy and very clean. The room with en-suite bathroom is big and confortable and most important very quite, ideal if you want to escape from the noises and chaos of the city. The bicycles provided were excellent and following Peter and Paula's recommendations we had a great time riding all the way through the cuckoo trail, a 14 mile cycleway in the middle of Sussex countryside. Great hosts, very kind and sociable. Peter also drove us to one of the restaurant nearby the house, so nice of him. I have enjoyed the time spent there and I would love to go back! I highly recommend it! Thank you again Peter and Paula for your hospitality.

FrancescoSeptember 2015

Stephens parents hosted us in the weekend we slept in the bed and breakfast. They were very helpfull and hospitable, we felt very welcome. Our space was the complete top floor of a brand new house, we really had privacy. Furniture, bedlinnen etc. was all new too, fine shower and fine bed. Private parking place under the car port! We used the available bikes (which were fine) and had a very nice morning driving the Cuckoo's trail. The quarter of the house is as new as the house, our GPS wasn't updated enough to find the exact location. The spot marked on the airbnb routemap Email was very inaccurate too. A call to the hosts helped to find the right street fast. Recommended for people who want quality and a really nothing wrong stay.

Jan and PetraSeptember 2015

Peter and Paula (Stephens parents) made us feel very welcome and were always willing to help. The room is very spacious with privacy of own floor - and well equipped with toiletries, towels, hot beverages etc. Perfectly clean too. Highly recommended and great location for the South coast (or Cuckoo Trail) if you have a car.

NirajAugust 2016

This is a great space with very friendly hosts. We had the top floor of the house to ourselves with plenty of private but, help was at hand if needed. I would definitely stay here again.

DavidMay 2016

Everything was as we expected. Warm welcome, beautiful room and exceptionally close to the wedding venue we were attending. Great value.

What a perfect place to stay. We were visiting the area for a wedding and this accommodation couldn't have been more perfect for me, my husband and of three month old daughter. Clean and comfortable. Like staying at a family friends.

CharlotteSeptember 2016

We were greeted very warmly by Stephen's lovely parents. The room was the best we've had from Airbnb so far - bright, clean, airy and very easy to relax in. There was complimentary tea, coffee, bottled water, toiletries, fluffy towels and tv with freeview TV. The sleigh bed was fabulous - and hard to get out of! Stephen's parents went above and beyond to welcome us and drove us to collect our car after we left it at a party venue. We will most definitely be back. A wonderful experience!

Our first B & B experience as a family and it was as perfect as it could be. Accommodation was immaculate and very comfortable, air-bed satisfactory for our youngster. The fact we basically had a whole floor to ourselves was great. Charlotte and her family were very friendly hosts. We will definitely stay again if the need arises and would definitely recommend them to others.

You’ll love my place because of the wonderful views across open countryside, the spiral staircase and the tree growing through the balcony. It's as close as you can get to a treehouse with all the comforts of home. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and families.

Gorgeously romantic detached annex with stunning views across an area of outstanding natural beauty. Generously proportioned studio room with french doors to large private balcony with large tree growing through it. Spiral staircase to downstairs kitchenette and shower room. Access to beautiful garden shared with the owner's family which backs onto open fields. Self catering.
It's on a tiny little lane with trees meeting over the road in places. There are lots of public footpaths including one that goes through next door's land and down through fields to the woods.
Treetops is an ideal retreat or lovenest - it's wonderful space for getting away from it all and right into the countryside; to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature; to heal, create music or art or to study. It's very much a cosy country property rather than a stylish hotel setting but it's nicely and very comfortably furnished in rustic style. Horses clop along the lane outside and birdsong fills the air. There is a farmer along the lane who has equipment in use and large vehicles during the week sometimes so it's more reliably peaceful at weekends. The owner is a music teacher who lives in the main house with one child. There's a pergola with a built-in barbecue and seating which you are welcome to use or share should the owner be there at the time of your visit. It's possible to have the fridge/freezer stocked with a variety of locally sourced food on request including meat from the farm shop and wonderful cheeses and vegetables. Similarly should you require a bottle of chilled champagne on arrival this can be arranged with the owner.
For children over 5 the owner has 2 temporary beds (foam folding chairs with sheets, pillows and duvets) which can be made up in the eaves and which have occasionally been used for extra adult guests. The garden is ideal for kids, with a brick-built Wendy house and a wooden climbing frame/swing/slide set and more swings and hammocks from the trees, including one suitable for adults from the major oak in the front garden. There are two ponds protected by mesh and fencing respectively. Babes-in-arms are also welcome. A high chair can be provided on request but there are no stair gates so it's not suitable for toddlers. There is a £10 per head per night charge.
Music (piano, guitar, ukulele, singing & theory) lessons can be arranged onsite as well as art and crafts activities in the owner's spacious new art/music/healing studio. Meditation sessions and Reiki treatments can also be arranged during your visit. If you would like to have an art/music/pampering/healing holiday for a larger group there is room for camping in the garden and a campfire area with logs to sit on - please inquire for further details.
Although smoking is not allowed inside, it is permitted on the balcony.
Treetops is a fully self contained apartment. Guests also have access to the owner's garden.
I do my best to be here to welcome guests (if I can't I leave a key and come and say hello when I return). I live next door so guests are totally private and separate but I am usually on hand to help if needed. My aim is to be available but not intrusive; we've made a lot of friends through offering holidays but only if people have actively approached us. You will probably see us in the garden from time to time. Should anything go wrong I always have my phone and even if we are out or away we have local friends who can help if needed.

Herstmonceux is a lovely little Sussex village with two pubs, the Brewers Arms and the Woolpack. It's also got a French brasserie (The Sundial), a bistro (The Malthouse) and a really good Indian restaurant (Eastern Promise). We've got two convenience stores and a few other shops. It's about 15 mins walk to the village from Treetops.
If you don't mind driving or longer walks, the Merrie Harriers in Cowbeech is about a mile a half away and it's a favourite amongst locals - a very traditional pub with beams and ingelnook fireplaces, good food and beer and a lovely garden. The Lamb in Wartling (near the castle) is similar but more gourmet (and pricier). The Three Cups in Heathfield do really great food very reasonably and the Giant's Rest (by the Long Man) is also very good after a walk through the countryside.
Tucked away in historically rich 1066 country it is ideally located for walking, horse riding, cycling and painting. There is a strong arts and crafts movement locally and there are plenty of good pubs that serve excellent food within easy reach. For nature lovers there is an abundance of local bird life and the nearby marshes and levels on the way to the beach at Pevensey (15 minutes by car). 5 mins from the South Downs National Park it is within easy reach of Eastbourne, Tunbridge Wells, Hastings, Brighton, Ashdown (Pooh Bear) Forest and Forest Row Country Park. There is fishing at the local trout farm, golf, tennis, a windmill, Herstmonceux Castle and a Science Centre. Other nearby attractions include Knockhatch Adventure Park, Drusillas, Paradis Park, the Bluebell Railway, Sheffield Park, Michelham Priory, the White Horse at Alfriston and Long Man at Wilmington.
A car is recommended, however, the nearest train station is Polegate, which is about 15 mins by taxi and costs about £15. You can get a number 98 bus from there to the village which I am told by Google takes about half an hour. It's about 15 mins walk from the village to here.

Treetops is a great place tot stay if you're looking for a unique and quiet place. Shop are nearby and Rye, Beachy head and Brighton for example are whithin an hour drive.

MarilynAugust 2016

Staying at Treetops was a lovely experience. The accommodation is a quirky, cosy and private space set in beautiful, quiet countryside with access to a secluded garden and decked balcony. Not fitted with the latest mod cons but we were looking for a retreat away from modern London life and this provided exactly what we were looking for. Sam provided easy to follow directions, plenty of info regarding the local neighbourhood and gave us privacy whilst making it clear that she was on hand if needed.

LeeJuly 2016

Great little place , kids loved it xxx

nicholaAugust 2016

Treetops is absolutely beautiful and Sam was a great host - very helpful and communicative. Although our stay was short we had a lovely time and would definitely return. The house is small and cosy, with fairly basic facilities but everything you need. The views are beautiful and it's perfect for a quiet escape.

BinkySeptember 2016

Good communication and allowed us to check in early, lovely space in a lovely location, and fully-functioning cooking / washing facilities, far more than we expected! Very friendly host!

BenOctober 2016

Nice place to stay, welcoming and friendly. Loved the cat! Overall please with the listing.

SamOctober 2016

Such a beautiful part of the UK and the treehouse was lovely. Opening the blinds each morning to a stunning view of the valley was amazing. The bed was so comfortable it inspired us to shop for a new one on the way home! Would recommend anyone I know to stay here, so much to do but also very relaxing if you want to stay indoors. Thanks for your hospitality Sam!

Mary is charming and welcoming. We thought we were lost but she came out and found us. The visit we had with them was thoroughly enjoyable, the bed was comfortable and the room was great. In fact the only thing wrong was we had only arranged to stay one night, we regretted having to leave. The next time we come we would gladly stay here again!

As a first time user of Air BnB i was a tad apprehensive but there was no need!! From the moment we booked Mary was SO helpful, providing us with cab numbers so we could get to and from the wedding we were attending. They were also very flexible with our arrival (thanks to traffic jams etc). Room was lovely with a private bathroom - great powershower. Exactly as described and bed very comfy. Little touches like water bottle and glasses in the room were appreciated. Breakfast was also delicious and they were a lovely couple to chat too. Overall i would definately stay there again and would recommend them.. Thank you very much for your hospitality x

Located in a glorious, peaceful rural setting in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the High Weald of East Sussex, our annex offers the perfect get-away for a relaxing, peaceful stay in beautiful countryside.

Whilst in the depths of the countryside, the annex has all the advantages of local amenities within a short drive.
The accommodation, also known as 'Badgers Rest' (we have lots of badgers living in the adjacent woods!) consists of a lovely spacious and light open-plan area with comfortable king size bed, sofa, TV and fold-away table and chairs. A hair dryer is also provided.
The kitchen is small, but well equipped with fridge, ceramic hob, combination microwave/oven/grill, kettle, toaster, pots, pans and crockery and glasses. Tea, coffee and milk
are provided and breakfast is available for an additional cost of £7.50/head per day if you would like me to provide this for you (orange juice/cereals/yogurt/bread/croissant/bacon/eggs/sausage/tomato).
The bathroom consists of a bath and Aqualisa power shower which is over the bath and large electric heated towel rail.
The annex has its own off-street parking adjacent to the building. There is a small terrace for guests' sole use.
We live in the main house so are always on hand to help in any way we can.

Old Studdens is a Sussex farmhouse with origins dating back to the 16th Century. The house and annex are situated at the end of a small country lane, surrounded by beautiful woodlands and countryside so if you are looking for a peaceful, rural setting, this is it! There are beautiful country and woodland walks from the front door, or alternatively the South Downs National Park is only a short drive away.
The local area has much to offer, whether it is exploring the historic town of Battle (10 miles away), relaxing on the seafront in Eastbourne (14 miles away), soaking up the atmosphere of the Lanes in Brighton (25 miles away) or just simply sampling the delights of one of the many excellent pubs in the local vicinity. We are also ideally situated for anyone attending Glyndebourne, which is only 14 miles away.
We are delighted to offer any help or advice to our guests regarding the local area. Our aim is to make your stay both comfortable and memorable.
Guests will require their own transport to get to and from Old Studdens. Gatwick airport is one hour away by car and there are two mainline stations within 25 minutes' drive with direct trains to London (either London Victoria or Charing Cross).

Fiona was a great host, very welcoming and friendly. Would recommend to all. Thanks for a lovely stay!

AliceAugust 2016

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Fiona and her husband gave us a very warm welcome and were very helpful. The annexe is very luxurious - really well appointed and comfortable. It is also in the country surrounded by public footpaths - there is one just by the house that takes you on a lovely walk by some orchards. Highly recommended!

LindsayAugust 2015

We had an amazingly wonderful weekend stay at Badger's Rest. Five stars! Fiona is lovely, and was incredibly welcoming. It's great to get local tips on the best places to visit in the area (we can attest to the fact that the Star Inn is a beautiful Sussex pub). The accommodation itself is fantastic!! It's beautifully done, and has everything you need for a break from the big city. It was a beautiful setting, surrounded by nature - and a few visits from the very friendly cat. Will most definitely stay here again: we didn't want to leave.

EmJuly 2016

My two nights here were so very relaxing and special. This an ideal spot for a relaxing time and a bit of privacy. Fiona is just a delight and goes out of her way to make sure all is just right. I feel I have made a friend for life and a stopping place whenever in England again.

BelindaAugust 2016

We met Fiona on our arrival, she showed us around the cottage and gave us some good recommendations on local places to visit. The cottage is gorgeous! Very clean, tastefully decorated and just spotless. It is self contained and has everything you may need for a shorter or longer stay. You can see the main house from the annex, but is far enough so you can still feel private. We enjoyed eating breakfast outside the cottage and Fiona made us feel really welcome. We would definitely recommend her place to our family and friends. Thank you for your hospitality, Fiona!

You’ll love my home because it's a piece of living history. A beautiful 17th century threshing barn with lovely old beams. Set in a quiet, rural but not isolated location. My guest room has an en-suite bathroom and doors opening onto the garden.
Well placed for 1066 country - easy access to Battle, Eastbourne, Beachy Head, Seven Sisters and Alfriston and Brighton. My house is about 3 miles from Hailsham with supermarkets and cinema, and 1 mile from Herstmonceux with stores, pubs and restaurants

Stay in a 1947 Showman's Living wagon (Molly) on our small holding with our sheep, Alpaca, Shetland ponies, bees and chickens. Walk down the lane or along the foot paths, then you can relax in the hot tub before retiring to the cozy living van bed.

The living van consists of a kitchen with hot and cold running water, fridge and gas cooker, a living room with seating for four or more which also doubles up as a second small double bed, a working wood burner and original features like the tiled fire place, cut glass mirror and bureau desk with display case. A separate bedroom with storage and small double bed, dressing table and cut glass mirror. There is a chemical toilet within the Living van which is almost the same as a normal toilet but you also have the use of a slipper bath, bathroom wash basin with led lit mirror and a conventional high level flush toilet just yards from the living van located in a 1930's shepherds lookers hut. Hopefully the pictures say it all but a romantic cozy adventure in a historic showman's living wagon sums it up. You can have a taste of what life was like for the travelling show folk of years gone by with a few added luxuries, although we know of showmen that still live and work as generations did before.
You will have access to the whole of the showman's living wagon/van, the shepherds lookers hut bathroom, our small holding where you will be able to pet any of our animals most of which are tame and friendly. You would also be able to view our garden and park on our large drive. If you would like to take part in any of the day to day care of the animals including the bees you would be very welcome to.
We live adjacent to the paddock and would be on hand at various times and enjoy showing people around and helping with any arrangements or excursions. We are keen to share our way of life and interests with others and enjoy hearing about there lives and interests.

Magham Down is a quiet village although it straddles the main A271 we are situated on a small country lane as are most other properties in Magham Down.
There is a public foot path which goes though our land from which you can start many walks. We have a large drive where you can park your own vehicle. There is a bus stop about a quarter of a mile away. there is a taxi company less that a mile away at Amberstone which is based in the local florists shop. The nearest railway station is about 8 miles away in the village of Berwick or a similar distance away is the town Polgate which has a railway station also. We are about one hours drive south from Gatwick airport were trains run to Berwick, Polgate and Eastbourne from where a Taxi or bus can be taken to Hailsham and Magham down. We would be happy to help you arrange to make your journy to us including a taxi to our property.
The living van is a compact space and the beds are not huge so please check the bed dimensions are suitable for you and if you are particularly large you may find that the Living van may be too cramped for you. You may also consider using the beds as large single beds rather than two double beds. The living van would be suitable for two adults and two small children but not four adults although children / teenagers would be welcome to pitch a tent if required by prior arrangement.
Please note that we are in a quite rural setting but sheep will be baaing, chickens and cockerels will be clucking and crowing, cows will mooing and the birds will be singing at day break.

We spent the most magical weekend here with our children (5 and 7 years). The wagon is immaculate and beautiful inside - a totally unique experience. Outside, the grounds are lovely, with animals close enough to pet. My children were still talking about Teddy the pony all the way back home to Oxford. Jill and Michael are the perfect hosts. They delivered to our wagon each morning the most delicious breakfasts, with homemade conserves and honey from their bees. We spent one morning by the seaside and the children were already begging to come back to Michael and Jill's wagon to spend more time with the animals. We would love to go back there again. I will be recommending this place to all my friends and family.

We booked Michael and Jill's showman's wagon for a one night only and left wishing we had stayed for longer! The wagon itself is utterly charming but turned out to be a mere piece in the puzzle in the most magical experience. Michael and Jill were such generous hosts: They welcomed us with warm smiles, a box of chocolates and wine in the fridge. Not to mention the delicious home cooked breakfast that was delivered to the wagon's door complete with fresh coffee and juice. The breakfast included delicious eggs and honey from their small farm. Michael and Jill kindly let us make use of their hot tub, which was luxuriously hot, and positioned next to a hot outdoor shower - Perfect for a October's day/night or a summers evening... As if this wasn't enough our two boys were treated to feeding the animals, riding their shetland ponies, and given some honeycomb to take home. Honestly I don't think the photo's don't do the whole experience justice: there is an outbuilding/bathroom with a roll top bath as well as a working loo and sink, and a lovely outside eating/cooking area. Thanks Michael and Jill you were the most hospitable hosts imaginable - we are already plotting out return!

EdwinaOctober 2014

What a fantastic 24 hours - the hosts couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome & the children got to feed animals, ride horses, give milk to baby lambs etc. It was so much more than just somewhere unusual to stay, it was a lovely experience that we won't forget. We'll definitely return.

MariaApril 2015

Michael and Jill made us feel very welcome and both showed us around, even pointing out features we hadn't realised were included - the hot tub with watering can shower and the most amazing bathroom- a separate shepherd's hut with a lovely freestanding slipper bath. They were the perfect hosts; nothing was too much trouble for them. Our 4yr old son loved the whole adventure, playing 'house' in the wagon, feasting on a huge breakfast, feeding the animals the next morning and walking up the pretty lane with their 2 Shetland ponies. The whole trip was utterly enchanting and totally unique.

EmmaAugust 2014

We had a fantastic time staying at the Showman's Living Wagon. Michael & Jill were really generous, attentive hosts. We loved everything about our stay, the wagon, cake and tea upon arrival, feeding the lambs, the roll top bath, seeing the sunset from the wagon, eating breakfast outside (which included Michael & Jill's honey) and seeing the international space station from the hot tub!

Gemma April 2015

We were warmly welcomed by both Jill and Michael. They gave us the grand tour of the gardens and then led us round to the Showman's Van. the setting was idyllic and even in the rainy weather was a delight. The sheep and lambs welcomed us too and my children enjoyed feeding the lambs their before bed milk. The Van is a lovely cosy retreat and a real adventure for the children. Breakfast was superb! ( 3 courses of deliciousness, cereal, full English then toast and preserves including honey from the bees). We enjoyed an early morning dip in the hot tub before breakfast and then Jill and Michael took us all out with the ponies. My daughter rode one and the other pulled a trap that we all had a turn at driving. It's was the highlight of the stay for my daughter. The shepherd's hut bathroom was luxurious. We all enjoyed a great hot bath in there. Despite a rainy day on our final day we loved the whole stay. It's not a B and B. It's an experience staying here and we feel very lucky to have stayed in such a historic vehicle. Thankyou Jill and Michael for making it such a magical time for us and our two children. We highly recommend you to all.

SamJune 2015

After looking for the perfect location for a fashion shoot we found it at Micheal and Jill's. Very helpful through the booking process and replied to messages swiftly. When we arrived at the farm we were welcomed by the happy couple and their array of farm animals. The location was in a beautiful setting and we couldn't have asked for a better hospitality. Throughout the day we were able to take breaks from the shoot and enjoy the surroundings. We were given the opportunity to feed the new lambs as well as sitting in the sun eating homemade cake and drink endless cups of tea. If you're from the city and need that special escape then this is your place! Would have loved to stay longer!

Cowbeech is a hamlet (no shops but a traditional village pub called The Merrie Harriers). Our house used to be The Cowbeech Village Stores and Post Office (and has a pub-like sign outside on verge). It is an old house but is light and spacious. It has a large garden with good views and plenty of nature (wild rabbits, free range chickens and sheep in the paddock). There is no public transport but bikes can be borrowed at small extra cost. Rural location ideal for country-lovers .

There are two bedrooms - both en-suite. The attic bedroom is under a separate listing. This one includes one 6ft bed (two beds put together) which can be separated to make a twin. It has an en-suite shower room with Aqualisa shower.
The idea is to make any guest feel completely at home. There is a kitchenette available for use and any guest is welcome to enjoy the garden.
You might pass on the stairs or sit in the garden together but there is not a communal sitting room.

Cowbeech is a rural village/hamlet. It has a lovely pub which offers good food. There are some very good country walks in the immediate area and most take in a local pub. Most are also circular, including one walk direct from the front door. It is possible to walk cross-country to the coast at Pevensey. It is also good cycling countryside.
There is no public transport so any guests would need to be independent. Plenty of parking for cars and bikes.
Tea, coffee, fruit and biscuits are included in the room - and there is a kitchenette for guests to make their own light breakfast in the winter. In the summer season, breakfast-on-the-house is served downstairs and includes delicious (I am told) scrambled eggs, courtesy of the free range chickens in the garden. A generous full cooked breakfast is offered at a small extra cost per person.

Couldn't ask for a better stay! Susan is a lovely host and her quaint cottage is beautiful! Stay here!

MarciaSeptember 2016

We had another lovely stay with Sue. Great fun, brilliant place and Sue couldn't do enough for us. We would happily recommend staying with Sue to anyone, and we will be back!

JamesJune 2016

Lovely setting, peaceful and rustic. Sue is very welcoming. We loved the chickens and rabbits!

SarahAugust 2016

Lovely stay with Sue just for one night as we had a birthday party in the village. Very relaxed and easy going, the accommodation is perfect and exactly as described. Would definitely stay again

JaneAugust 2015

We really enjoyed staying at Sue's cottage. We stayed in the twin room. The room was very comfortable and full of character with a lovely view. The en-suite was very good too with a great shower. Great value for money. Sue made us feel very welcome, and was very helpful while also giving us loads of privacy and freedom. She also made us delicious scrambled eggs for breakfast. I would recommend staying at this beautiful cottage.

DavidJune 2016

We enjoyed our stay with sue , the room was great with lovely views . The location was just right for us and I have recommended sue's place to friends and family

RogerJuly 2015

My husband and I stayed over before racing at Spartan Super obstacle race and Sue's place was only 15 minutes drive away, which was perfect. Sue was very welcoming and her cottage is definitely a hidden gem. We had tea and coffee facilities and a fruit bowl with biscuits and fresh milk waiting for us. The room was spacious and clean and we had a large and comfortable bed. Shower was great as well. There is a lovely pub just few minutes walk away. We would definitely recommend her place.

EvaSeptember 2015

We loved our stay with Sue. She was an amazing host and did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. We were working in the area and finished around 1am, and Sue kindly arranged her lodger to be around to make sure we got in to the house OK, and even gave me a lift the next morning. I can highly recommend staying with Sue and experiencing her wonderful hospitality. Thanks so much again Sue for having us :)

It's a quirky space, hidden away and totally private and very quiet.
This annexe is totally private and self contained. Own front door with your own key. Lovely private courtyard with table & chairs.
On call if needed

Very peaceful here & the town centre is a walk away.
Town centre a 5 minute walk with all local shops , bars, restaurants & a lovely little cinema. Bus stop across the road with buses into Brighton or Eastbourne.
Ample free parking right outside in the road.

Anne-Marie made us all feel very welcome and made an extra care to provide us with all the luxuries that a usual hotel would. I was particularly impressed that there was good quality shampoo and conditioner, food and wine in the fridge, alongside all the usual amenities such as bed linen and a hairdryer! Not only that, but as we were going to Brighton Pride, Anne-Marie helped as much as possible with transportation- organising us a taxi back and taking us to the train station. A completely lovely stay and lovely host! Would definitely stay again.

VictoriaAugust 2016

My sister and I spent the weekend here, and had a great time. Annmarie was a fantastic host, really kind and helpful. Check in and out was a breeze - Annmarie was really relaxed and flexible following a last minute hospital appointment for my sister the day we were heading down. The annexe is lovely, really cleverly designed so you have everything you need (including breakfast!) and still are left with plenty of space. Would absolutely recommend!

GemmaAugust 2016

Annmarie was a lovely accommodating host. Check in and out was very easy. The annex is very private, clean and modern with a pleasant outdoor space. Parking is on a quiet street close to the annex. Annmarie has certainly put the homely touch to the annex and the breakfast items were very helpful. There is a small double pull out bed and two comfy bunk beds with plenty of bed linen. Good choice of accommodation within 10mins driving of Eastbourne.

Detatched cottage with far-reaching countryside views situated in the popular village of Herstmonceux. Lovely Lime Cross Nursery across the street with a great cafe for lunch/afternoon tea. Just 10 minutes drive to Hailsham, 15 minutes drive to the nearby town of Bexhill-On Sea, 25 minutes to Eastbourne and 40 minutes to Rye. A great quiet retreat for a long weekend.

Large living room with flat screen TV, WIFI, dining table for up to six, garden on two levels overlooking a dairy farm, two double bedrooms with separate staircase access to each, one bathroom with full bath and shower off one bedroom, full kitchen with fridge/freezer, cooker, hob, coffee machine, and washing machine.
Full access to both upstairs bedrooms, bathroom, living room/dining area, kitchen and garden. There is space for up to two cars on the driveway.
I will be available via email or telephone throughout your stay, with immediate contact with a local caretaker of the property.

A car is necessary to make use of the local towns close by, otherwise there is a local bus service to Bexhill-on-Sea and Polegate. The closest train station is Polegate an you can walk into Herstmonceux Village within 10 minutes where there is a local mini-market, post office, restaurant, Indian take-away, hairdressers and local pub.

We had a really nice time staying at the cottage - it is very pleasant and cosy inside and we were kindly left a little welcome on arrival package which was a nice touch. The location is good but the only slight drawback is that the cottage is situated near to a road which occasionally means you get the sound of traffic. However this is only a minor point and did not impact our overall enjoyment. Communication and responsiveness from the host was also excellent. Would certainly stay again!

JackJanuary 2016

This was the most fantastic little cottage and we had a very special and cosy Christmas there. Also the treatment from the owner was exceptional and couldn't had been any more attentive to our needs with great communication throughout. Highly recommended and we'll be back!

Me and my family had a lovely time staying in this cottage. The only down side was the road but it was not enough to ruin our stay. Didn't meet Dawn but she was available when ever I had a question and replied quickly. Overall would recommend staying here as it is a great base if you are thinking of visiting different parts of the coast.

DavidAugust 2016

Loved every minute I spent in the cottage. Dawn was extremely helpful and made us feel extremely welcome and at ease. The cottage itself is cozy and absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Not to mention that it's a in a great location that allows to visit all over East Sussex in no time at all.

FranciscoAugust 2015

Great little cottage... Nice and cosy! I'd happily recommend this to anyone.

ChristopherAugust 2016

A lovely and country-style cottage with 2 cozy bed rooms in the top floor (excellent beds btw), big living and dining room and a well equipped kitchen that allows for full cooking. We came with 2 kids and 2 parents and found much more of a cottage than we expected. The cottage is located between two villages with only a few hundred meters to the next pub/restaurant and in a very green area. The A271 brings you quite quickly to Hailsham for getting all your groceries and daily things. We found it a good place to start our daily sightseeing tours. We did not meet Dawn in person but he alway was instantly available for us and very hospitable and helpful. All was quite easy and pleasent. Thanks Dawn!

ChristianAugust 2015

A gorgeous country cottage. Very spacious and suitable with separate rooms on either side of the house. Unfortunately the road noise was disturbing for us on every night. If you're comfortable with this, it is a great little house.

SteveAugust 2015

The place was fantastic, and Tony made us feel like home immediately. The surrounding area is beautiful and the bunkhouse is immaculate. Will definitely be returning.

JamieSeptember 2015

Tony was a welcoming host and the cottage was as we expected from the pictures. Lovely and and spacious with a very well equipped kitchen. The power shower was fantastic and we loved the super king sized bed. Lovely countryside nearby with a fab pub The Lamb within walking distance of the cottage. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and would recommend it to others.

FernandoNovember 2016

We wanted a nice relaxing place in the country for a few days as a first break with our new baby daughter. The Bunkhouse was perfect. The property itself is excellent value. It's a lovely space, tastefully decorated and very light and airy. Your every need is catered for. Tony and Claire were great hosts and made us feel very welcome. They were there if we needed them but otherwise we were left to our own devices which is exactly what you want. We also went for the breakfast option and this was a very well catered. The welcome wine was a lovely touch and perfect after a long drive. A lovely relaxing break all in all and we will be back soon I am sure. Thanks Tony and Claire!

My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay at the bunkhouse we took a wrong turning on the way there but Claire was quick to give us further directions once we called. Well furnished private cottage with all that we needed we especially enjoyed their recommendation of the local pub which was less pub grub and more fine dining. The worst part was that we couldn't stay longer! Great hosts allowed us to do as we pleased would definitely like to stay again!

Mary and Paul were very welcoming and met all our needs. Fantastic breakfast (homemade muesli and scrambled egg on toast, with homemade bread, toast & spreads, tea & coffee) taken in the garden was much appreciated by the three of us. Everywhere was clean and had nice touches - like fresh flowers and bottle of water in room. Thank you Mary and Paul for a very comfortable stay.

MargaretJuly 2016

I would like one more time say THANK YOU to Mary and Paul! I don’t think we can wish more that they gave us during 2 evening and 2 great mornings. Breakfast was absolutely great, healthy and as much as you can eat! Good coffee! They were very friendly to our son, offered him big range of interesting toys! Thank you for evening tea and long conversation about everything! They also recommended us nice local restaurant that we really liked! We travelled this time 3 adults and a little boy. Mary and Paul gave us 1 big and 1 small room. Small room designed for 2 teens, but was great for my aunt :)

The stay in this accomodation was such a nic experience. I took my parents for trip to Eastbourne and Hailsham has a good distance from the seaside. I was looking for some accomodation at Eastbourne but it was quite expensive so I chose this option and the pictures of Mary´s house were really nice. The reality was even better :-) We spent lovely time talking with Paul and Mary and we felt very comfortable at their house because they let us make ourselves at home. The house is very cosy and I would recommend this experience at Hailsham to all.

LucieJuly 2016

Mary and Paul made their best to offer a familiar atmosphere and menadged it wonderfully. Spotless clean and very welcoming. A very positive experience.
